Do you hear what I hear? Yanny vs Laurel

"What you hear doesn't mean you have better hearing or poor hearing", said Ryan McCreery, director of research at Boys Town National Research Hospital.

"It's an interesting auditory illusion, if you will", McCreery said.

Also, McCreery said, the words are acoustically similar.

It could be a factor. For example, if you hear the sounds in either "Yanny" or "Laurel" more in your everyday life, you might be more likely to hear them here. If you hear Laurel, you're more likely hearing lower frequencies. Primary information that would be present in a high quality recording or in person is "weakened or attenuated", Story says, even as the brain is eagerly looking for patterns to interpret.
